Firewalld is from our fedora friends. Firewalld comes with a gui if the use flag is activated for it. Firewalld is a daemon that is on top of iptables, ebtables, & nftables. Firewalld inserts rules dynamically with out having to restart the kernel layer firewalls, and has interfaces to insert manual iptables, ip6tables, ebtables, and nftables rules. {{package|app-admin/sshguard}} can be used along side firewalld to dynamically block attackers. Firewalld is very tightly integrated with {{package|net-misc/networkmanager}}.

{{warning|firewalld-0.2.x is very buggy under gentoo & funtoo, the init process refuses to stop among other things. it's really bad, pre alpha quality. go to nftables, or iptables now. or use the firewalld-0.3.x series.}}

I am a 23 years old French developer. I am currently working as lead developer for a web start-up called ''Aladom'' (home services sector) in Rennes (Brittany, France). I started developing websites at the age of 11, which, bit by bit, led me to programming and GNU/Linux. I moved to Gentoo in 2010 and then Funtoo about three years later, in order to become the master of my computer and not the opposite. I am especially enthusiast about getting rid of features I don't need/use.

If you would like an application to configure firewalld, set the gui use flag.

+

{{console|body=###i## emerge net-firewall/firewalld}}

I don't remember.

=== init ===

+

{{console|body=###i## rc-update add consolekit

In my childhood as a wee developer, I moved from distro to distro by curiosity, without understanding, fundamentally, the difference between them. This is the day I moved to Gentoo that I had a click. Well... the day... I must say the first time I booted on Gentoo Install CD, it was like "OK... Where are fancy windows and OK buttons... Am I really supposed to type some text here? Hmm... looks like this CD is buggy, let's try another distro.". But eventually I came to it again, and went through the famous handbook. I remember, It took the night to compile Gnome 3 and the nearly 200 "dependencies" and I had to wait until the early morning to get my fancy interface. A month later I had the feeling I had learn so much (and totally screwed up my system with my newbies commands) I had to reinstall Gentoo, and this time decided to build my own kernel thanks to kernel-seeds.org. Miraculously, it worked. Well... actually, I chose vanilla-sources, and as a total ignorant of what "vanilla" meant, I thought it would be a good idea to turn on {{c|USE<nowiki>=</nowiki>vanilla}} in {{c|/etc/make.conf}} to optimize packages for my kernel... No need to tell you it did not take a month to screw up my system. So I tried again, I loved it.

All of this is funny but this does not tell us why I moved to Funtoo and will stick to it.

If the gui is merged in, to load it:

Firewalld

Firewalld inserts rules dynamically with out having to restart the kernel layer firewalls, and has interfaces to insert manual iptables, ip6tables, ebtables, and nftables rules.

Warning

firewalld-0.2.x is very buggy under gentoo & funtoo, the init process refuses to stop among other things. it's really bad, pre alpha quality. go to nftables, or iptables now. or use the firewalld-0.3.x series.
